Few figures in Tamriel are as mysterious—or as entertaining—as M’aiq the Liar.
From Morrowind to Oblivion, Skyrim, and beyond, M’aiq has always been a wandering storyteller who mixes lies, rumors, half-truths, and glimpses of the future.
“M’aiq knows much, tells some. M’aiq knows many things others do not.“
On our Elder Scrolls Minecraft server, M’aiq returns once again: a wandering NPC in the Imperial City who drops hints about upcoming updates, references past events, and teases hidden secrets on the server.
🐉 M’aiq and His Knowledge of Dragons
In true Elder Scrolls fashion, M’aiq speaks in riddles when discussing dragons and dragon eggs.
On our server, this was more than a joke—
M’aiq’s cryptic lines contained real hints that helped players learn how to hatch dragonlings.
🚢 The Octarian Joke — A Community Meme Turned Canon
One of M’aiq’s funniest lines references Octarian, the NPC tied to a long-stalled main quest step.
“M’aiq met a man who said he would sail soon. ‘Soon,’ he said. That was many moons ago… Perhaps Octarian needs a special wind.”
For months, Octarian insisted he would “sail soon,” yet nothing happened.
🦀 “M’aiq Saw a Mudcrab…” — A Hint at Things to Come?
“M’aiq saw a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures.”
Mudcrabs are not yet common wildlife—but M’aiq’s dialogue often foreshadows upcoming content.
🧭 Where to Find M’aiq
He does not stay in one location for long, reinforcing his reputation as a drifter and observer of all things strange. He rarely leaves the city, he never leaves the island around the imperial city.
